About Me

I’m a 42 yr old female who innocently started taking Mirapex for Restless Leg Syndrome. Within less than six weeks of starting Mirapex I blindly began a compulsion and an obsession with going to the casino. With that first trip of which many, many more were to come, little did I know the possibility one of this drugs serious side effects could have outright destroyed me. My issue with Mirapex is not that there are serious side effects – my issue is I had a right to be informed of ALL the potential side effects they KNEW about.

FDA warning letter to makers of Mirpex to change misleading information (9/08)

The letter is dated 9/28/08. I started taking Mirapex 8/08.

Directly quoted from the letter:

"The two consumer-directed printouts (MRLS47260 and MRLS47262) are misleading because they present efficacy claims for Mirapex but fail, respectively, to either communicate any risk information for Mirapex (MRLS47260) or to communicate the important risks associated with the use of Mirapex (MRLS47262)."
